    This was a replacement for a 20 year old GE. It's a little larger than the old one but is quieter. Easy to use and it works well. Best buy installed it and they did a great job.Seems to heat evenly and quickly.

    Nice product so far, buttons are a little odd to press correctly and it is louder than some I've had before. It seems that the vent runs every time it's on, not sure yet if it's a setting or just the way its designed. Installation was straightforward, and the dimensions are accurate. Esthetically it is nice, brushed stainless looks nice and it looks great new.

    This replaces a very similar GE unit that we bought with the house. This unit is waaaayyy quieter - so quiet that at first I thought it wasn't working! Heats like a charm and bonus - our magnetic food cover fits in the middle above the rotating tray, while the old one had something in the way so we had to think about where it would go each time. Easy install although I had to drill new holes in the cabinets and walls since the holes in the top of the unit and the bracket are different than the other GE model. Very happy with this choice.

    Fits above our stove perfectly and is nice and sleek looking. It is actually a lower wattage than the one it replaced and works/cooks/heats just as quickly.

    Good basic unit, buttons are not great

    I bought this because the dimensions are relatively small for 1.6 cubic ft unit and I despise microwaves that hang below the cabinets or stick out 6 inches in front of the surrounding cabinets. I was replacing a GE Profile from the mid-90s and it fit into the existing cabinet cutout perfectly - does not protrude below the cabinets, and the depth expanding out in front of the cabinets is minimal - only a couple inches. I installed with the recirculating fan option as we do not have exterior vent ducting. Usually microwave fans have 2 speeds - loud, and just as loud but moving less air. On this GE the low fan speed is much quieter than the high speed, which is rare and appreciated. My only complaints are that the worksurface light could be a bit brighter, and the buttons sometimes require more pressure than expected. Overall, it does everything I need it to, nothing I don't, and has held up fine for 6+ months now. Would recommend to anyone who isn't looking for bells and whistles.

    So far so good. Fairly easy install. It was to replace an existing range microwave so the new braxket just went in place of the old one. I did have to open the anchor holes a bit more because the microwave was a couple centimeters bigger other than that it’s working beautifully

    Extremely quiet and easy to install. Definitely needed two people to hold up and put in but if you've put one in before, you'd know. So far so good, works great and has a lot of options. I do wish it has the codes for reheat posted but it's. Qr code.

    Product Great/Installation Challenging

    I had to replace an existing GE microwave. Best Buy had the best selection and value, with the added benefit that this was another GE product. I was excited as I thought the installation would be easy since it was one GE product for another. No such luck. There were MINOR differences in the brackets and the location of the mounting screws that caused me to have to drill new holes and invest more time in the installation than I felt was needed. The microwave is awesome, easy to use, nice features, and very quiet. Why the engineers at GE felt it was needed to make a replacement microwave with slight variations is beyond me.

    Initially I shied away from this model because I thought it was too big for the small space I had. So I picked another one which turned out to be the wrong size. But the installer made some suggestions, and I went back to the first model. Second installer was also great - got it DONE! I've been using it daily and am very satisfied.

    We’ve had this microwave for a few weeks and everything’s working great! Best Buy’s installation team was awesome and made sure the microwave fit properly and was firmly secured to the upper cabinets. IT looks very nice and modern. love the “Express “ bottoms which are numbers 1-6. Just press “3” for example, and the oven will cook for 3 minutes. The inside is a nice clean white that does not streak like stainless steel, We picked this microwave because of the excellent reviews and great price. I bought it on Wednesday and Best Buy installed it the next day! We are very happy so far.

    This microwave is a Consumer Reports best buy, and Best Buy had the best price. Pros: Easy to install, has all the features we needed, and looks good. Cons: none to speak of.

    Love the features of this over the range microwave. It is surprisingly quiet when in use. Also like the "reminder" when something has been left in the oven. Works as described, very satisfied with purchase.

    It is larger than my old GE microwave and it works to warm, reheat or cook exactly the way I want. The door is a little weak, thus 4 stars but overall a very good investment.

    New GE micro wave

    This is a replacement for our old GE microwave that lasted for many years. It works very well, even surpasses the old one in energy savings and performance. One of the things that works and looks better is the vents out the top instead of the front. This looks so much better and makes cleaning the front surface so much easier. It does stick out farther than the old one but that is no problem for us. Very easy to install and only took about a half hour for the installer to finish the work.

    Aftyer about 20 years my son's GE Microwave finally gave up. With other priority items they put off replacing the microwave till after Christmas. That gave me the idea to replace their microwave with a new one in time for the Holiday Season. We live over 900 miles apart so after consulting with my son he said he would install it himself if he could use the same predrilled holes as the old one. Over the internet we discovered the Best Buy had the GE model that fit that requirement. It was then easy for me to buy it in Fargo and have him pick it up in Norman, OK. The installation and use have been completed and the whole family is very happy with the new microwave.

    I love my new GE Microwave.It looks really nice. It is very easy to operate. The setting could be a little brighter for an older person to see. After using it for about a week, I could see the setting easier.
